NEW YORK, NY — March 7th, 2019 — BKCoin Capital, LP (“BKCoin Capital”) is pleased to announce its intention to leverage the infrastructure and trading technology developed by XTRD.IO(“XTRD”), a trading technology company. The recently-inked partnership brings the esteemed clientele of BKCoin Capital access to XTRD’s mature technology and infrastructure for cryptocurrency markets.
BKCoin Capital, one of the first digital asset hedge funds, committed to delivering consistent, uncorrelated absolute returns through the exploitation of arbitrage opportunities across various regulated digital asset exchanges globally. The fund’s partnership with XTRD will help utilize global financial markets to enable easy cross exchange trading and market data analytics through a unified, secure, and co-located portal bespoke to institutional needs.
“We are excited to work with XTRD in order to continue to provide our clients with transparency across all of our global trading operations. BKCoin Capital’s deep fundamental and technical analysis along with our powerful proprietary algorithms help us stay at the forefront of active portfolio management of digital assets. This partnership will allow BKCoin Capital to actively collaborate in bringing higher standards, legitimacy, and sophistication to digital asset markets.” says Carlos Betancourt, Founding Principal at BKCoin Capital.

Alexander Kravets, CEO of XTRD, said “The needs of the institutional trading community require a level of abstraction, focusing on alpha as opposed to the infrastructure challenge of coding to hundreds of exchange API’s.

NEW YORK, NY — July 26th, 2019 — BKCoin Capital, LP (“BKCoin Capital”) is pleased to announce its intention to utilize exact price predictive analytics and indicators for top cryptocurrencies from SynQ. By utilizing SynQ’s business intelligence-based, exact price, predictive technology, BKCoin Capital expects to gain an edge from the rest of the market.
BKCoin Capital is one of the first digital asset hedge funds, committed to delivering consistent, uncorrelated absolute returns through the exploitation of arbitrage opportunities across various regulated digital asset exchanges globally. SynQ will assist the fund in finding highly probable trading opportunities that are unavailable to the rest of the market. BKCoin Capital plans to use these opportunities to deliver higher than expected average returns for its limited partners.
“Our team believes that cryptocurrency markets are increasingly influenced by investor’s emotions. Today, retail investors make up a significantly large portion of cryptocurrency market participants. Unlike traditional markets where a company’s financial information is readily available, cryptocurrency market participants lack reliable financial information because most crypto-companies are currently in the early growth phase of the business life cycle. By using SynQ’s innovative predictive analytics solution we expect to have real-time signals that will help us understand cryptocurrency market participant’s behaviors and sentiment.” says Carlos Betancourt, Founding Principal at BKCoin Capital.
SynQ will continue to deliver highly accurate exact price projections for the Top 100 cryptocurrencies to BKCoin Capital with the goal of helping the fund retain a trading edge in a very competitive asset class. Access to this data at scale, in collaboration with BKCoin Capital’s already transformative strategy, should give the fund an added edge while trading a highly volatile and speculative set of assets.
Nicholas Mancini, COO of SynQ, said “We see SynQ adding a large value proposition to BKCoin Capital’s already highly successful fund model. Having access to highly probable and accurate price projections, while still maintaining full autonomy on what trades they would like to make, helps give BKCoin Capital a better set of tools to tackle the difficult cryptocurrency landscape”
